Our treatments

Hands-on treatment is central to our therapist’s methods.  We compliment our manual therapy by utilising both time-tested and modern advanced treatments to aid your recovery.

Physiotherapy

Private musculoskeletal physiotherapy offers tailored one to one treatment to address a wide range of issues from joint pain and muscle strains, to sporting injuries and chronic conditions. Patients benefit from personalised attention and a specialised treatment plan focused on your specific needs, ensuring faster recovery and long-term improvements.

Exercise prescription

Exercise prescriptions are formulated using evidence-based protocols to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve function. Therapists develop progressive rehab plans that may include targeted stretches, strengthening drills, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training. Each programme is individually customised to ensure safe recovery, accelerate healing, and support long-term independence.

Sports massage

A specialised technique designed to prevent injury, improve flexibility, and support recovery. Our sports massage treatments focus on the muscles and soft tissues, targeting areas of tension and discomfort to promote circulation and release built-up stress.

Acupuncture

A time-tested therapeutic technique that stimulates specific points on the body to restore balance, promote natural healing and alleviate pain. We use acupuncture as a complementary treatment to support your recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellbeing.

Steroid injections

A highly effective treatment option for managing inflammation and providing relief from pain in arthritic joints, inflamed tendons and bursitis. We carefully administer corticosteroid injections as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to reduce swelling, improve mobility and support the healing process when conservative treatments are not enough.

Prescription medication

We offer medication management, when necessary, to support your recovery. This includes prescribing pain relief, anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants to complement our hands-on treatments. Our approach ensures that medication is used as a last resort and in combination with other therapies to enhance your healing process.

Electrotherapy

Electrical impulses utilised to promote healing, reduce pain and improve muscle function. We offer various forms of electrotherapy, including TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), ultrasound and interferential therapy. These techniques are designed to target pain at its source, encourage tissue repair, and restore normal movement.

Shockwave therapy

A cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues and reduce pain. We can refer you for shockwave therapy to treat conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy.

Platelet rich plasma

An advanced treatment that uses your own blood’s platelets to promote healing and tissue regeneration. We can refer you for PRP injections to target areas of chronic pain, tendon injuries, and soft tissue damage. By concentrating the growth factors in your blood, PRP stimulates faster healing, reduces inflammation, and supports long-term recovery.
